OpenStudy (just_one_last_goodbye):

Remember to find slope: \[\frac{ rise }{ run }\]

2/5

OpenStudy (countrygirl1431):

OpenStudy (just_one_last_goodbye):

Wouldn't it be \[\frac{ -2 }{ 5 }\]

OpenStudy (countrygirl1431):

OpenStudy (just_one_last_goodbye):

We always go to the left ^_^

OpenStudy (countrygirl1431):
